Mr. BARNES

asked the Minister of Health whether he has decided to ask Parliament to continue the Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922, or whether he is now prepared to recommend Parliament to put the Milk and Dairies Act of 1915 into operation?

Sir K. WOOD

It is not proposed to ask Parliament to postpone further the operation of the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915, which, under the provisions of the Act of 1922, will come into operation on 1st September next. The other Act named in the question is not a temporary; Measure and will continue in force.

Earl of DALKEITH

Sir J. GILMOUR

The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. It is proposed to bring the Act into operation on 1st September, 1925.
